  Civil War 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Apr 2024

  I walked into this one expecting a warning about a certain narcissistic ex-president. Instead, I found a movie with no real, clear politics. Maybe that’s the point: neither true, objective journalism nor war itself has a clear cut message. It’s just chaos. It’s just survival. It’s a fight for retaining your humanity.
